Omschrijving
This three-volume collection examines the evolution of the sealed bottle from the 1640s to the late 1800s and provides a detailed description to accompany each entry.
The British glass historian David Burton has created a 1,740-page set of books to analyze a seemingly narrow topic: antique bottles that bear raised markings identifying the original owners. Mr. Burton has spent decades hunting for intact and broken vessels in private and institutional collections and deciphering their codes of numbers, letters and family coats of arms for his new three-volume set. -- Eve M. Kahn The New York Times, February 26, 2015 Time in a bottle; this is a collection that explores the unlocking of history through the identification of its unique seals, using crests and coats-of-arms as the 'keys' towards identifying the original owner. The Journal of Antiques & Collectibles, March 2015 It is a work that touches on many aspects of glassmaking history and glass use, and I predict that it will have widespread interest and value. (I will call the publication a book hereafter, but that is a gross underestimation of a work that is so monumental in scale and importance.) -- The National American Glass Club The Glass Bulletin
